===Film scores and other non-classical recordings=== Although not rivalling the LSO's total of more than 200 film score recordings, the LPO has played for a number of soundtracks, starting in 1936 with ''[[Whom the Gods Love (1936 film)|Whom the Gods Love]]''. The orchestra played for ten films made during the Second World War, and then did little soundtrack work until the 1970s, with the major exception of ''[[Lawrence of Arabia (soundtrack)|Lawrence of Arabia]]'' (1962). Later scores have included those for ''[[Antony and Cleopatra (1972 film)|Antony and Cleopatra]]'' (1972), ''[[Jesus Christ Superstar (film)|Jesus Christ Superstar]]'' (1973), Disney's ''[[Tron]]'' (1982), ''[[The Fly (1986 film)|The Fly]]'' (1986), ''[[Dead Ringers (film)|Dead Ringers]]'' (1988), ''[[In the Name of the Father]]'' (1993), the ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film series)|Lord of the Rings]]'' trilogy (2001β03) and most of the music for the [[The Hobbit (film series)|three films]] derived from ''[[The Hobbit]]'' (2012β14).<ref>[http://www.lpo.org.uk/recordings/film-highlights.html "Film highlights"], London Philharmonic Orchestra.
